Robert Lerner Obituary, Death – Robert Lerner of Midland, Michigan, has sadly passed away unexpectedly leaving loved ones and family in grief and agony. Following graduation from high school, he enlisted in the United States Army Air Force and began his training to become a fighter pilot in that branch of the armed forces of the United States. During the Korean War, he distinguished himself through his brave service to his country, and after the war, he continued to serve in the Air Force right up until the day he retired from the military.
Because he was so patriotic, he instilled a sense of patriotism in his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren by emphasizing the importance of serving one’s country and conveying that sentiment to them. His grandfather served in the United States Armed Forces, as did his father-in-law, brother, and all three of his sons. His grandfather also served in the military during World War II. His grandfather was also a veteran of the Navy, serving alongside him. There are currently two of my grandsons serving their country in the armed forces of their respective countries.
After devoting his entire life to exploring the world and lending a helping hand to those in need, he eventually settled down in Breckenridge, Colorado, and began working as a counselor in the area, specializing in the treatment of alcoholism and substance abuse. He was successful in assisting a sizeable number of people who were struggling through challenging circumstances. After settling in for a while in Breckenridge, the couple eventually came to the conclusion that Grand Junction would be the best place for them to call home permanently.
There, Bob joined the local Watch and Clock Club and became a member of the club. The many years of Bob and Martha’s marriage that were spent traveling the country in an RV to see friends and family in various parts of the country contributed greatly to the happiness and laughter that permeated their union. Patricia, who was Bob’s daughter, passed away before Bob, who was predeceased by both his wife Martha and his daughter Patricia.
Bob is no longer with us, which is a terrible loss. Among those who will carry on after his death are his brother Gene, his sister Joyce (along with her husband Lyle), his sons Chuck (along with his wife Linda), Scott (along with his wife Jana), and Alan (along with his wife Catherine), and his daughters Suzanne (along with her husband Kevin) and Diane (Pete). Throughout the course of his life, our grandfather was able to enjoy the company of nine lovable grandchildren and six priceless great-grandchildren. This was truly a blessing for our family.
